If you have been charged, interviewed or bailed to appear, what you do in the first week matters more than anything that follows. We act for people from Lalor and across Melbourne's north, and we appear at the Heidelberg Magistrates' Court.
Most matters from Lalor start at the Magistrates' Court, where the difference between a conviction and a non-conviction is usually made on preparation rather than argument — character material, the plea, and how the facts are put. Serious indictable matters move to the County Court, and we run those too. You will be told plainly what you are facing before you decide anything.
People in Lalor typically come to us after police involvement—whether that's a summons, interview notice, or arrest. Most matters involve driving offences, assault, theft, or drug-related charges. The first step is usually gathering the facts: what happened, who was there, what police said, and any messages or documents related to the incident. If you've been interviewed or charged, bring those records. If you haven't been contacted yet but expect to be, write down what you remember while it's fresh. We can then look at the evidence with you, explain the process ahead, and work out the best way forward.
Tell us what you have been charged with. We'll explain the likely range of outcomes for a matter like yours, and what can still be changed.
Leave your name and number — we call you straight back, usually within 2 minutes (8am–8pm), to understand your situation and book you in with the right lawyer. No cost, no obligation. Outside those hours we'll text you and call first thing.
We meet clients online right across Victoria — or in person at 911 High Street, Reservoir VIC 3073.
